Citrus Cake Mix Cookies

One of my favorite flavors is lemon.  I love lemon pie, lemon cookies, lemonade drinks, etc...  You name it...I probably like it.  So, when we were in the midst of our second snow storm last month I needed a taste of summer.  Lemon came to mind and these cookies were created.  Adding a twist of orange to them gave an extra citrus flavor that warmed even the coldest of winter days.  I can't wait to make them again!!

(printable recipe)

Makes 25 - 30 cookies

1 lemon cake mix

1 Tbsp. orange juice, freshly squeezed

    I love recipes that are semi-homemade. I also am SO into citrus (especially lemon!) right now. :)

    I actually have pineapple cake mix in my cupboard right now, and think the girls and I are going to have to mix up a batch of orange pineapple cookies later today! I can't wait to try out this recipe!
